COL M’CASKEY ILL PLEASED WIIH R. 0. T. C.
Officer from General Staff at Washington Inspects Local Unit
Colonel Douglas McCaskey of the General Staff, Washington, U. C., accompanied by Colonel L. M. Keohler, C. O., inspected the local R. O. T. C. Friday, April 18. The entire morning was given over by the administration for the purpose of the inspection.
The first two hours were devoted to a battalion parade, review and inspection, after which a demonstration in special instruction classes was given. Special classes in musketry, bayonet, physical exercise and wireless signaling are offered to advanced students who show an extraordinary ability along the various lines. The men made a better showing than was expected of them, having had only 27 hours, the equivalent of three days, in training camp. Lieut. Edward L. Symonds, executive officer, attributed this to the “high order of intelligence and interest shown by the men.”
That the Inspecting Colonel was well pleased is without a doubt, for he expressed no complaint, which in military affairs is equivalent, as Lieut. Symonds says, “to a pat on the back/’ Lieut. Andrew Paulson, adjutant, states that the R. O. T. C. at tills University surpasses all in their equipment and the amount of work covered. This is undoubtedly due to the men (Continued on Page 4)
VAU-DE-JINKS TO BE BIG SHOW,
Y.W.C.A. MANAGEMENT PROMISES
Have you bought your ticket yet for the Vau-de-Jinks?
No? Then turn your pockets inside out. Surely there is a quarter reposing there that could not be better spent, either from the selfish point of view of having a good time or the magnanimous one of helping a worthy cause— than in exchanging it for a ticket which anyone with the password can extract from John Robinson, Roy Johnson, Warren Lamport, W. H. Perkins, Claude Reeves, Harry Amstutz, Ralph Jayne or Edwin Inwood.
Honestly, now, don’t you consider your health and appetite worth twenty-five cents? And don’t you know yourself well enough to realize that if you aren’t gracing one of the seats in the “Y.” hut at 8:15 p. m. on April 24,you will go to school the next morning, hear of all that happened, and develop a violently perturbed condition of the mind, gained from thinking about what you missed? Now, Prof. Owen will tell you that anyone who is not contented cannot absorb food without having it turn to poison. Draw your own conclusions. Appetite, health, poison—ugh! For your own good you can’t afford to miss the Vau-de-.Iinks.
First and foremost, our beloved prima donna, Madame Shoe-man-Hink, will be there (they do say she is coming clear from France in an aeroplane for the occasion), and she will render selections dear to the heart of every college student. The only chance of a lifetime to hear her on the same program with a jazz band, a Muriel Arkley skit, and a minstrel quartet provided with watermelons! The College of Oratory is sending a package of glee, the College of Music one of delight, and the Gym department—well, wait and see them dance. The ownership of the kodak album which is to be reproduced in living pictures has yet to be divulged, but a prominent upperclassman is responsible, we hear, and lately has been looking penitent. And last, but not least, there is in the process of development a gorgeous surprise for the person who had his doubts about getting his money’s worth. We’re sorry, but no more can be said now. Orders from headquarters.
But look at that quarter carefully and think it over. Eight-fifteen p. m. at the “Y.” hut, on Thursday. It will mean a lot to you!

Charley Paddock, California’s greatest and most consistent sprinter—the boy who is so fast that he is a mile or so ahead of his own shadow—is going to Paris for the big inter allied track and field meet that is to be held in June. Being a veteran of the war— having enlisted as a private, attended the officers’ training school at Camp Taylor and won a commission as a second lieutenant—he is eligible for competition and the Southern Pacific branch of the A. A. U., of which Bob Weaver is president, is making plans to raise the funds necessary to send the U. S. C. runner on the trip to the land o’ the tri color.
But a freshman, Paddock has demonstrated that he iu the nonpareil of all sprinters in the West. His work in the A. A. U. meet—9 4-5 seconds In the century and 21 4-5 seconds in the furlong—compares favorably with the best marks registered in the East. In Paddock the experts see a white Howard Drew. He can run in second gear and register 10 seconds fiat. When in high he flirts with the world’s record. With the proper competition, accord ing to Dean Cromwell, he could equal the record of 9 3-5 seconds.
Paddock is a Southern California (Continued on Page 4)
